Selfish ...
May 25, 2005
All I want is a maid to clean my modern, well-decorated loft.
I want somebody besides myself to do my laundry and my shopping.
I want to have toast 40% faster.
I want vacuums that vacuum while I'm away at work.
I want Tivo ... on an HDTV ... that's plasma.
I want a Nikon D70 and the free time to take thousands of pictures with it.
I want to write a book one day on one of the dozen plots I've thought of.
I want to attempt amatuer comedy on open mic night.
I want to see the world with a beautiful, intelligent woman.
I want a high performance, sportscar to drive during the weekend and a luxury sedan during the week.
I want to start a business someday for fun ... not one that I rely on as my main source of income.
I want to have a great golf swing.
I want to have all the new gadgets.
I want to write a screenplay and maybe even have it made.
I want to run a marathon.
I want to play in a community softball league.
I want to pay for my children's college education.
I want my knees to not hurt after I run.
I want people to come to my house and say, "Wow, Neil has some pretty cool stuff. Neil has the bachelor pad."
I want to be that guy ...
I want to live my life in honesty.
I want my family to know how much I love them.
I want my kids to know more than anything how much I love and would do anything and everything for them ...
... and finally, I want to wake up tomorrow without a hangover.
I've considered composing a list like this on my blog. In fact, several of my selfish wants are the same as yours. Of course, several are dramatically different as well. ;-) But I always fall back on the idea that I just want to win or inherit millions of dollars because then I should be able to accomplish a good majority of my list.
